Fanzines
West Norfolk bands werent featured much in the National Music Press - or in the London/Manchester based fanzines -Â in the 80's but we did have a handful of enthusiasts making sure our scene had its own publications.
Tox (Steve Harnett) had the most successful zine, Trees & Flowers, one whole issue and some snippets of other issues can be found on the Fanzine page as are examples of Bushes and Weeds (Kevin Tordoff) plus mentions of Final Straw from Norwich.
